Summary
Hermione and Pansy’s eighth year at Hogwarts is coming to an uninspiring and rather dull end. After almost nine months of monotonous classes, stressful exams, and all of the other wonders of almost-adulthood, both are ready to get the fuck out of Hogwarts and not look back. The only consolation lies just beyond graduation-- Pansy has accepted a dream job offer, and the paperwork for Hermione’s London apartment has, at last, been finalized.
But, of course, it can’t last. When two idiots in their Charms class get into a fight, Pansy and Hermione are at the wrong place during the wrong time, and because of it they’re plunged into a chaotic and seemingly never-ending situation that threatens to derail their lives as they know it.

Summary
The real monstrous secret was absent from the dossier. The secret haunting over her very livelihood was left entirely unmentioned, a silent sword of Damocles hanging over her head. Surely, they knew. Surely, they were keeping her strung up in her own web of lies, keeping her paranoid and uncertain until they had enough leverage. Viper gritted her teeth. Powerful as this blackmailer may be, nobody was an adept match for the protocol. Her answers would come soon enough.
or
Viper has been a stealth trans woman for longer than some agents have been alive, but the meddling of a soon-to-be-agent threatens to unravel a truth she spent years burying.

Summary
Too bad, it seems, that Beacon has made her soft. Her back has begun to thaw and her breaths grow deeper, and she can feel her bones begin to weaken. There’s no other reason for the aching pain she feels radiate from her chest. She’s just being dramatic— being free from Atlas has made her too emotional. It’s all just in her head, a metaphorical pain.
That is, of course, until she coughs up the first petal.

Summary
There it was.
The HOA Lawn of the Month sign stood proudly in a patch of deep green across the street. The angle of the setting sun glinted off the gold lettering, just enough to make Keqing’s eye twitch.
Her thoughts moved in fragments.
Did they deliver it to the wrong address? Did someone move it? Did someone think this was a joke?
No. That couldn’t be.
The garden across the street did not belong to a prankster. It belonged to someone named Ganyu.
Keqing had seen her before—soft-spoken, often coming and going in the early mornings. Kept to herself. Liked oversized sweaters. Wore gardening gloves like they were part of her skin. Polite enough, with the kind of voice that made you slow down without realizing you had. Keqing had categorized her as “mild” and “nonthreatening.”
Apparently, that had been a miscalculation.
Or, Keqing loses her streak of winning the HOA Lawn of the Month award. She then realizes who her real enemy is.

Summary
If it weren't for her grandfather, Weiss would have lost her wings at birth. If it weren't for her mother, she would have lost them as a toddler, when she was still too young to remember them. If it weren't for her sister, she would have lost them as a child, the moment she was old enough to be afraid of them.
Weiss arrives at Beacon still counting down the days to her eighteenth birthday, when she will finally get rid of them for good. It's the obvious next step. Until, that is, her team does what they do best, and makes everything a whole lot more complicated.

Summary
“I don’t want you do something stupid on international television when you could’ve just downloaded Tinder,” Weiss says. Blake smiles—there’s the Weiss she knows—and goes back to folding her shirt.
“I’m not going to do anything stupid,” she says. “I’m not looking to meet anyone, and if I was, I wouldn’t go after wannabe reality TV stars. But they’re going to fly me all over the world, Weiss, and pay me more than I made in four years of royalties off my last book.”
“When you put it like that, it sounds almost reasonable.”
“That’s because it is,” Blake says. “Now help me pack or get out of my apartment.”
“Just promise me you won’t actually marry someone you meet on reality television."
(Blake agrees to become Remnant's next bachelorette for a lot of reasons, but getting married is absolutely nowhere on that list. Then, of course, she meets Yang.)

Summary
It’s been a year but Yang knows her, knows what her body means in the way it moves, knows every tilt of her mouth, every blink, every beat of her heart, every chamber of it, the way it bruises and bleeds and bumps against her chest. I’ve lived there, Yang thinks of telling her, please let me leave. But Blake is silent and doesn’t move.
The truth is easy for Yang to see until it isn't. I love you, Blake says. It's the only reason I've ever done anything.
There you go, Yang says, lying again.

Summary
“What’s wrong?” Keqing can’t see anything worthy of shock. The room is small, and fairly empty. Two beds sit on either end, with a set of drawers and a round table on a worn bamboo mat occupying the floor space between them.
Ganyu’s mouth opens but it’s a few seconds before she answers. “I—so there’s just one room for us to share?”
-
In the aftermath of Rex Lapis's departure, Keqing rushes to strengthen Liyue's infrastructure and trade routes. Her first project takes her on a survey trip to a site north of Qingce Village. Despite Keqing's protests and doubts, Ganyu comes along to help in lieu of her usual entourage of assistants. The two of them couldn't be more different, but a week together has its way of unearthing secrets and words they never thought they would say to anyone, let alone to each other.

Summary
Keqing’s lungs seize up. Her fingers curl into fists and Ganyu tilts her head up to meet her eyes and—
"Ganyu, this is Keqing. Your bodyguard."
Ganyu pulls down her mask. "Keqing?" she repeats, mouth slightly parted.
She tries to smile. It comes out more like a grimace. "Hi."
Ningguang purses her lips. "Do you know each other?"
"No," says Keqing quickly. "No. We don’t."
It turns out six years after they've cut off all communication is when everything begins.
(or: Ganyu is a world-famous idol, Keqing is her bodyguard, and somewhere in there: a love story waits for them.)
